The claim of Elijah Fox was put into my hands in Sept. 1850. and I have a contract with the parties executed there.
Soon after, through the interference of Mr Ely, a lawyer of Watertown N.Y., the parties put the claim into his hands, and he has been figuring in it since - doing nothing of business for Elijah Fox untilled before 11 th Feb '78.
The parties got tired of Mr Ely's efforts & have put the claim into my hands again -
